scan line 162 with anactive layer 141 interposed therebetween. In one illustrative aspect, the driving transistor DT includes a driving gate electrode DTG_R, DTG_G, or DTG_B. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the sub-pixels formed in the thin film transistor array process may have the same circuit configuration, but the light emitting elements that emit light may have different areas as shown inFIG. 4 . Accordingly, the area for each color may be differently adjusted according to the visibility required for the display apparatus.FIG. 4 shows an example in which ablue anode 310B included in a blue light emitting element has a larger area than agreen anode 310G and ared anode 310R. The larger area of theblue anode 310B can be configured to compensate for the low visibility of blue light that is emitted from a light emitting area, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Other techniques to increase visibility of blue light include disposing a larger number of blue light emitting elements than light emitting elements of other colors or controlling light emitting intensity in a circuit. - In this aspect, the
blue anode 310B is positioned to partially overlap with the gate electrode DTG_G 183 of the green driving transistor DTG that is electrically connected to thegreen anode 310G. In this case, when theblue anode 310B is turned on, a parasitic coupling may occur between the gate electrode DTG_G 183 of the green driving transistor DTG and theblue anode 310B. When theblue anode 310B is normally turned on, the parasitic capacitance causes the luminance of the green light emitting element to decrease. In addition, when the blue light emitting element is darkened, a bright spot defect, which is a phenomenon in which the green driving gate electrode DTG_G overlapping with the darkened blue anode is brighter than the green light emitting element, overlapping with another normalblue anode 310B occurs. For example, a bright spot defect can occur when a parasitic capacitance is formed based on the gate electrode DTG_G of a green light emitting element overlaps a normalblue anode 310B. The parasitic capacitance may cause a darkened blue light emitting element to be brighter than the green light emitting element. - In the light emitting display apparatus of the present disclosure, as shown in
FIG. 6 , a shieldingmetal 200 is provided between the gate electrode DTG_G 183 of the green driving transistor DTG and theblue anode 310B to prevent parasitic coupling therebetween. - In addition, the shielding
metal 200 is connected to the first power line VSL, which is a low-level power line passing through the display area, and applies a constant voltage at a low level to the shieldingmetal 200. Even when a turn-on voltage is applied to theblue anode 310B overlapping with the shieldingmetal 200, the shieldingmetal 200 is not affected by the turn-on voltage. - In the light emitting display apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure, the
anodes - Although the illustrated example shows that the
blue anode 310B has a large area and partially overlaps with the green driving gate electrode DTG_G, the aspect of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some cases, the green anode or the red anode may overlap with a driving transistor or a switching transistor of a different color, and a shielding metal can be formed between two overlapping metals to prevent the influence of overlapping metals. - For example, the green driving transistor DTG may include a gate electrode DTG_G, an
active layer 142, a source electrode DTG S, and a drain electrode DTG D. The gate electrode DTG_G of the green driving transistor DTG may overlap with theblue anode 310B and the shieldingmetal 200 to prevent electrical coupling therebetween. - The first power line VSL may be parallel to the data line DL and may overlap with the
blue anode 310B. - In one aspect, the shielding
metal 200 may be disposed between afirst planarization layer 190 and asecond planarization layer 195, and thefirst planarization layer 190 and thesecond planarization layer 195 may be disposed between the green driving gate electrode DTG_G and theblue anode 310B. - In some cases, the shielding
metal 200 may have an area equal to or greater than the overlapping area between theblue anode 310B and the driving gate electrode DTG_G 183 of the green driving transistor DTG and prevents a parasitic capacitance forming between the gate electrode DTG_G 183 of the green driving transistor DTG and theblue anode 310B. - In an embodiment, the shielding
metal 200 may include the same material (e.g., titanium (Ti) or aluminum (Al)) as the source electrodes of driving transistors included in the light emitting display apparatus, but is not limited thereto. For example, the shielding metal may include molybdenum (Mo). - In one aspect, the shielding
metal 200 includes the same material as the source electrodes, the shieldingmetal 200 may be formed in a three-layer structure in which titanium, aluminum, and titanium are sequentially laminated. - In another aspect, the thickness of the shielding
metal 200 may be the same as that of the source electrodes within an error range. - A
bank 250, which is illustrated inFIG. 6 , may be provided with light emitting parts of theblue anode 310B, thegreen anode 310G, and thered anode 310R exposed. Thebank 250 can be formed to overlap light emitting elements, such as the edge of each of theanodes anode FIG. 6 , anorganic layer 320 and acathode 330 may be provided on thebank 250. For example, a blue light emitting element ED_B includes theblue anode 310B, theorganic layer 320, and thecathode 330. Theorganic layer 320 and thecathode 330 may be formed over the entire display area (refer to DA inFIG. 1 ), and the areas of the light emitting parts EM are defined as theanodes bank 250. - The
anodes - The light emitting display apparatus of the present disclosure includes the shielding material provided between an anode of one color (e.g., red, green, or blue, etc.) and a driving gate electrode in a different color. For example, when the anode and the driving gate electrode overlap, the shielding prevents the formation of a parasitic capacitance.

- In other aspects, positions of the source and drain of a transistor which will be described later may be changed.
- A P-type transistor can be more reliable than an N-type transistor for some configuration and some materials. In the case of the P-type transistor, since the source electrode is fixed to the high-level driving voltage VDD, the current flowing in the light emitting element ED is not affected by the capacitor Cstg. Therefore, it is easy to supply current stably.
- For example, a P-type transistor may be connected to the anode of the light emitting element ED. When the transistors T4 and T5, which are connected to the light emitting element ED, operate in a saturation region, a constant current can flow regardless of changes in the current and threshold voltage of the light emitting element ED, and thus reliability is relatively high.
- In one aspect, a transistor may be a silicon transistor that formed with a semiconductor such as silicon (e.g., a transistor having a polysilicon channel formed using a low temperature process such as low temperature polysilicon or LTPS). However, the transistor is not limited thereto, and in some cases, the transistor may be an oxide transistor. The oxide transistor has a relatively lower leakage current than the silicon transistor, and current leakage from the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT can be prevented when the transistor is implemented using the oxide transistor, and image quality deterioration such as flicker can be reduced.
- The gate electrode of the first switching transistor T1 may receive a first scan signal Scan1. The source electrode of the first switching transistor T1 may receive a data voltage Vdata. The drain electrode of the first switching transistor T1 may be connected to the storage capacitor Cstg.
- The gate electrode of the second switching transistor T2 may receive a second scan signal Scan2. The second switching transistor T2 is turned on by the second scan signal Scan2 to control the operation of the driving transistor DT through the high-level driving voltage VDD stored in the storage capacitor Cstg.
- The gate electrode of the third switching transistor T3 may receive a light emission signal from the light emission control line EM. The source electrode of the third switching transistor T3 may receive a reference voltage Vref.
- The gate electrode of the fourth switching transistor T4 may receive the light emission signal from the light emission control line EM. The source electrode of the fourth switching transistor T4 may be connected to the drain electrode of the driving transistor DT. The drain electrode of the fourth switching transistor T4 may be connected to the anode of the light emitting element ED. The fourth switching transistor T4 is turned on by the light emission signal from the light emission control line EM to supply a driving current to the anode of the light emitting element ED.
- The gate electrode of the fifth switching transistor T5 may receive the second scan signal Scan2. The source electrode of the fifth switching transistor T5 may receive the reference voltage Vref through the third power line RL. The drain electrode of the fifth switching transistor T5 may be connected to the anode of the light emitting element ED.
- The gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may be connected to the storage capacitor Cstg, and the drain electrode thereof may be connected to the source electrode of the second switching transistor T2. The source electrode of the driving transistor DT may receive the high-level driving voltage VDD.
- The anode of the light emitting element ED is connected to the drain electrode of the fifth switching transistor T5 and the drain electrode of the fourth switching transistor T4. The low-level driving voltage VSS may be supplied to the cathode of the light emitting element ED.
- In one aspect, the fourth switching transistor T4 is positioned between the anode of the light emitting element ED and the driving transistor DT, and the fourth switching transistor T4 is controlled by the light emission signal from the light emission control line EM. When the reference voltage Vref is supplied to the anode of the light emitting element ED when the fourth switching transistor T4 is turned off, the anode of the light emitting element ED may be reset.
